These are the first ones I ever bought (sorry, I'm bad with names of what's what), which was around when I was 19 or 20. I'm 35 now, so that is at least 15 years ago. I bought the wallet first and actually used it the other night. Aside from the gold finish getting rubbed it looks pretty close to new. The purse has seen better days though. I just don't have the heart to get rid of it but I never use it anymore.
